COP29 is upon us (Perfidy, thy name is the UNIPCC) being held in the greenwashing Republic of Azerbaijan. And ironically, there are dire warnings from some quarters about the methods “anti-science” Donald Trump will deploy to destroy the planet.

With that in mind, here is a handy list of real scientists, economists and energy professionals you can count on to offer facts, figures, and observations that counterbalance falsehoods embedded in presentations by the UNIPCC, the Mainstream Media, and their co-conspirators the search engines.  Here you go, in alphabetical order.
